LONDON - Britain’s Supreme Court on Wednesday lifted a bar which prevented the government from giving evidence to U.S. authorities about an alleged Islamic State execution squad nicknamed “the Beatles”, after reassurances were given that the men would not face the death penalty.

U.S. Attorney General William Barr said last week that U.S. prosecutors would not seek the death penalty against the men or carry out executions if they were imposed, an issue which had been a stumbling block for Britain handing over captured militants. “The order concludes the proceedings in the Supreme Court, which means that the stay or the stop on providing material to the U.S. government is removed,” a court spokeswoman said.

The pair were members of a four-strong Islamic State unit that was known as the Beatles because they were English speakers.

Reinstate the death penalty just for them.
